True Heirs of Ginott

Reading this somewhat dated, self-help-centered, yet ultimately brilliant book reminded me of discussing a thorny subject with an eccentric college professor: He or she might be disorganized and a bit unconventional but the luminance of (presumed!) great ideas shines through. As for actual...

Bunch of Rubbish

I bought this book many years ago when our youngest who is now 19 was 3 or 4. It is the typical modern psycho-babble about trying to understand your kids etc. Useless trash. You are much better off going with John Rosemond's "Six Point Plan to Raising Happy Healthy Children". Much more effective...

for desperate moms

This is by far the best parenting books I have read. It offers many insights and ready-to-use techniques. It's not like many parenting books with big concepts, which we all know but don't know how to apply. It is full of vivid daily examples with specific ideas to help you respond to your...

A thought provoking book

I found this book to be very thought provoking and need to read it again and do the exercises to get more benefit from it. It's so easy to interact with my kids 'as usual' - the good suggestions in the book don't always come naturally but when I use them they seem to work quite well.
